Cosplay Work Log: Ohayocon [Part I: Princess Bubblegum]

[AshLuvMilo]

Your cosplaying is so legit, LOVE IT!<3 I was wondering, what program do you use to edit your videos?

[MangoSirene]

@AshLuvMilo Thanks! And I just use iMovie '09. :)

[AshLuvMilo]

@MangoSirene Thanks=) Keep on Cosplaying<3

[TheCosplayCrack]

i saw you :) i was the alice ciel who ran up to you freaking out asking for your picture rofl

[MangoSirene]

@TheCosplayCrack Aw, I remember you!! :D I hope you enjoyed the con just as much as my friends and I did~!

[RegularRaven]

Can I ask how you basically...figured out which patterns to use before cutting out fabrics?

[MangoSirene]

@RegularRaven For PB, I drafted the pattern myself, and since the cartoon is so basically drawn I was able to interpret her dress however I wanted to. But generally, you'll want to look at the costume and match it with a pattern, either by looking online or going to JoAnn's and flipping through the pattern books until you find something similar. Most costumes don't exist in real life, so you'll have to find a pattern to modify more often than not. :)

[RegularRaven]

@MangoSirene Ooh, ok. I was just wondering since this will be my first year cosplaying...trying to make Bumblebee from Teen Titans...this is gonna be interesting. Anyway, thank you ♥ To JoAnn's I travel then!

[GreenLanternCorp2814]

Do you cosplay for C2E2?

[MangoSirene]

@GreenLanternCorp2814 This will be our first year going, but yes, I'm planning to cosplay! :D I'll be bringing Miss Martian, Danny Fenton, then possibly Cyclone and Barbara Gordon, too.

[GreenLanternCorp2814]

@MangoSirene Awesome, I'm currently working on my Flash costume for C2E2 but am having the worst time at trying to make the cowl

[MangoSirene]

@GreenLanternCorp2814 Oh gosh, I wish I could help but I've never had to make a cowl like that before! D: Best of luck with it!

[GreenLanternCorp2814]

I know what you mean, I've spent tons of time at Joans trying to get the right colors to go with the right fabrics, but I think you're costumes are awesome

[MangoSirene]

@GreenLanternCorp2814 It drives me nuts sometimes! Good to know I'm not the only one who gets that obsessive over it! xD And thank you!

[felcon]

awsome video, glad to see a fellow cosplayer at work. I've had a few of those days of nonstop work on a cosplay and with it still not being complete lol.

[TheUnnbreakable]

were is this ohayocon

[MangoSirene]

@TheUnnbreakable Columbus, Ohio!

[TheUnnbreakable]

@MangoSirene Cool I live close shame I work all weekend Id like to see one of these I really like anime

[Loknar64]

Do you ever just wear some of your old cosplay around the house for fun? Certainly not the big ones like your Princess Tutu outfit but some of the more casual ones that would be less prone to being damaged? I'm just kinda curious since you put so much time into making the outfits.

[MangoSirene]

@Loknar64 Noooope, I'd be too freaked out about them getting damaged. Plus there's no fun in putting on a full costume just to walk around my house by myself, especially since most of my costumes are decidedly not comfortable. I have a feeling I may be wearing my Bubblegum cardigan around though, since it's relatively normal-looking and now it has a lot of good memories that go along with it. :)

[samtoenail]

I'll be at Ohayocon too! Hope I run into you and the rest of Inner Mind team.

[Randomsocks14]

When I cosplay, I'm usually Superboy even though I'm a girl. some people are like 'nay, your Supergirl!' and I'm like 'yeah....do you even know what Supergirl looks like? It's not like this, just sayin...I can't sew, like at all. And Superboy, pretty easy for someone with no skill. Jeans, a superman shirt, boots, and if you wanna get picky, a jacket.

[samforesthedarkangel]

Man I need to take sewing from my grandma to make this years costume thx I've missed these vids

[ryukagai]

WHAT YOUR NOT A MARTIAN XD!

[MangoSirene]

@ryukagai SPOILER ALERT

[kelso895]

What color are your eyes? They look really vibrant here!

[MangoSirene]

@kelso895 They're hazel! Nothing too exciting but I really love 'em. xD

[popstar1420]

* raises hand really high* i have a questionnn!!! what do you do with your cosplay costumes when you done with them? i know cosplayers who have closets completely for their costumes.

[MangoSirene]

@popstar1420 Back at home I have a whole room devoted to sewing, so I have a wardrobe rack that I hang everything on, plus storage units. But at school I just hang up my costumes or toss 'em in a box.

[kenziedog101]

hnng i love this and i cant wait for you to put up more of these kinds of videos, its so much fun to watch

[MangoSirene]

@kenziedog101 Thanks so much, glad you enjoy 'em! :D

[devoncroix]

This is an awesome idea!

[WonderfulAkari]

that was great

[mokmo23]

Amazing that you can work in such a tight space.

Also: Your last angle: Is there a huge rectangular hole in your wall ?

[MangoSirene]

@mokmo23 Yes, yes there is. I'm pretty sure the Grudge lives up there. Or it's filled with the Silence.

[chibikyo7]

This is such great idea for videos~ :3 I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[cosplaygirls1]

Sweet.
